1984 BMW Alpina C1 2.5 4 door

[pukar]

Quattroporte = Harrow I love your vewy herry car long time

i think "long time" is technically thai....as is "happy ending"

[tom325ise]

This guy had a full on restoration completed on an Alpina Press Car. He spent £4K on the bodywork alone. It really looks the business even though it's a more door. It'd be interesting to see what he'd be able to sell it for.

Hahahaha. I was getting quite excited at the prosepect of this rebuild thread, only to be disappointed!!

I can only express my disappointment as follows: It's like undressing a fit bird and discovering she's got a c0ck!

[Blitz]

Some of the prices lusted for the bits are laughable.

No just scabby tech 1's in general.

The press car connection is a coincidence.

is this the car the alpina cloth 4dr seats appeared on ebay recently came from? It looks totally borked

Indeed , though while advertised as 4 door and having come from the sorry hound in question, the interior was actually a 2 door trim. I was tempted for the B6 but not at the money they were.

The car was less it's all impotent Alpina head, plus the rest of the engine would have suffered because of that fact, so, all in all, it wasn't worth restoring IMO!

[Rodderz]

Is that silver C2 2.7 cab still in that front garden in Croydon?

i bet your heads been welded or is missing also. I don't know of a C2 2.7 that hasn't cracked a head by now.

use your loaf, they crack and people replace with a standard head when they don't want to pay £3000 for a new head. Or they take a chance and get the original welded if at all.

You might not be aware of it but you can bet ya bottom dollar yours isn't an exception to the rule!

[Rodderz]

I wouldn't be able to say, but it's still on the car!

I wouldn't still have the car if it wasn't there.

That's also the reason I never kept the black E24 Alpina I had.

15k+ resto =5k four door , hardly worthwhile. The car was scrap and had been for many years. The end.

Come one Pete, not everyone who gets involved with turds does it for financial reasons.

Take Simon for example!

And yes, we know its a 4dr! Even I'm beginning to feel sorry for them.

Haha! You got me there but in my defence, it was 7 years ago and it was mega rotten and no press car!

[bss325i]

The sad thing was it was never offered up for sale as a project.

I'll admit, however many years ago when someone posted about seeing it then not replying to my PM's, I was interested in taking it on. Alas, that ship has sailed.

[Rodderz]

Is the silver cab still laid up in that garden in Croydon?

Good job it was

[bss325i]

Not sure, been down that road in a few years BUT i will being driving down the Purley way so I can take a detour.

The guy was on drugs 7 years ago thinking it was worth £10k and wouldn't even sell either!

[Simon13]

why am i being dragged into this about my finances? i've got more chance than ever now of recouping a large chunk of it. they've not dropped in value!!

[bss325i]

True. You've taken long enough with it!

You sprang to mind at first of someone chucking money at a project almost money no object with the car not being worth as much.

Even me with my sport to be fair!

I'll never sell though where as you have been making some noises....

There is that to be fair. It will be worth it in the end though Si and you would be insane to sell it.

I spoke to the guy about 4 years ago, he's an Audi technician, and he couldn't get the car through the emissions test, that says the head is fooked to me!

It was an epic Tech 1 vs Tech 2 ruck , the two haterz were hurling abuse at each other and have now gone home to Fertan their wounds
